Comment on Women earn 78 cents for every $1 men paid on average.
Zagorath@aussie.zone 4 days agoSo, my question “why” was rhetorical. The point is that fundamentally, the money an industry gets represents its value to society, and society clearly does not value the sort of work that is associated with women as much as it does “men’s work”.

I don’t think that the money that an industry gets represents it’s value to society, not even close. I don’t think that a CEO brings 1000 times more value than a normal worker.
What I really see happening is that every industry tries to take as much of everyones money as they can and if they are in a position where they can force us to do it, they will.
There is no fair wage distribution, not even among white men.
Women earning less money is just one of the symptoms in this ever more broken system where big corporations control more and more of our everyday lives.

Ah sorry, you’ve misunderstood me. When I said its “value to society”, I meant the value that society places on it, not the value that it provides to society.
